Bristol City sack Nigel Pearson

Nigel Pearson has left Bristol City with immediate effect after being relieved of his role as manager.

City Chairman Jon Lansdown said: “This was a difficult decision to make as we recognise and appreciate how much Nigel has done for the club over the past two-and-a-half years on and off the pitch.

“Nigel is highly respected by the staff and players and has been very supportive of the Academy structure and our Women’s team.

“We all wanted Nigel to achieve our ambition to be promoted but, with our recent results, feel that now is the time to make a change to give the club the best possible chance of success.”

First Team Coach Jason Euell and Head of Medical Performance Dave Rennie have also left the club.

Assistant Manager Curtis Fleming will take on the role of interim head coach, supported by Ali Hines and Kalifa Cissé as the club seek a new Head Coach.

Lansdown obviously saw through his outrageous post match comments after our game LOL.

No sympathy from me.

He deserves the boot for his pathetic comments.

Dour bitter twat. Good riddance.

That's made me smile :-)

A twat, but pretty harsh given his present illnesses.

Warnock to Bristol?

Twelve first team squad members out injured yesterday as well. Seems harsh to me, but they’ve just bumbled along in the sort of position they’re in now throughout Pearson’s time in charge - not good enough for a team that should be in the Champions League now according to Lee Johnson’s grand plan.

....and a bit closer to his retirement home.

City and Rovers could swap Pearson and Joey Barton.

It's not really good riddance, is it. He was doing a shit job for Bristol City. That's a wonderful thing in my book.

Saying stuff like he did looked like the biggest deflection attempt ever, it’s like he got the noose out the draw…..

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Serves him right for losing to such a poor team.

I'd settle for that.

Joy

It's such a pity Jursey red or whatever his name was doesn't post on here any longer even if he did calm down a bit towards the end.

:hehe:

My Wurzel mate told me this was coming weeks ago. He was an appointment by previous CEO Mark Ashton and owner Steve Lansdown has never been sold on him. Lansdown has also made it clear that he isn't going to pump money into the club any longer and that he favours a Luton approach ie not spending any money. He is strongly rumoured to want to sell the club although the fact that the ground is now owned by a separate company to the club itself is likely to be an obstacle. All in all things don't look too rosy.

You'd have to have a heart of stone not to laugh.

I understand he's busy bombing Gaza with his IDF mates.

They were right, except it was the Scottish Premier League, and he didn’t last long there

Oh dear what a pity, never mind

I was too confused at ‘my Wurzel mate’ to read on.

You are on a football message board where this sort of ‘bigotry’ is displayed in some shape or form in literally every thread on every day of the week. I think you’d better get used to it.

He was being sacked regardless of the Cardiff game
